Forest in Magical World

The moon was bright, but clouds scudding across it kept throwing the world into darkness. A sudden spatial movement occurred in between the trees in the forest. Then, with a flash, Pamla appeared slightly disoriented. He kept shuffling between his legs to keep his balance. His mind was in disarray. He looked at his surroundings, although blurry, he could make out the trees.

Trees were high and dense. He thought about what type of trees these are? Then he remembered that his knowledge about trees is scarce. Well, whatever... then he remembered..... Wow, this feeling..... I have just used magic. Wow!!!!! ... well so what if it's the magical watch and not my personal magic. At least i have touched the magic. I should try to remember this feeling of teleportation. Yes, it's bloody teleportation which is not possible with the technology of the current science. Well, let's be aware of my situation first. Let's make sure i am not in danger.

He looked around. It was still night. Moon was high in sky with clouds surrounding it. Wind was mild. The watch was still in his hand. So, he put it safely in his pocket. As it was the only magical item he has for now. And it was most probably his ticket for his home.

He thought about what should he do? Then finally decided it's best to stay put. Instead of roaming around in an unfamiliar forest where there can be unknown dangers. Besides, i don't even know how long would it take to get me out of here. I should stay put in position and hope no danger comes finding me. Hmmm..... let's climb a tree first. I am not foolish enough to light a fire to attract anyone or anything in this forest, only if there is no other choice then there will be fire. Otherwise it's best to remain as inconspicuous as possible.

He looked around for different trees, to find the easiest to climb. He did find one that has branches in a way that it could be climbed although hardly. And thus, he was on a branch of tree. Branch was not wide enough to sit comfortably but beggars can't be choosers right.... So, he decided to spent the whole night, or whatever was left of the night, sitting on the tree and observing his surroundings.

He was not idle. He was thinking.

What should i do in the morning? First i should get to the safety. Early morning i will start walking towards the north. I know sun rises in the east and sets in the west. So, i have to move perpendicular to the motion of the sun whole day. And i will also mark the trees at regular intervals, so that i can track towards this position. If it happens to be a no way in the north then i will try the east. And hopefully i will not be lost in this forest. Since i have decided my morning schedule, let's try to see what's different about this forest in comparison to the normal forest.....

Well, i can't find any difference. For me trees are still the trees. I can't feel anything different. There are no animals so far. I hope it's not a magical forest and there are no magical beasts. Well, i should put my knife in my pocket as well. There is no use to keep it in bag.....And i should not sleep at all. Otherwise I will fall. And that will result in pain and injury. I can't feel the magic... Well how about i try to focus and meditate a little until the morning. But i can't loose focus of my surroundings. Hmm... so i will meditate so that i will have to focus on my surroundings instead of my inner self.

Well, as per my knowledge, meditation can be of many types. One of them is focusing on the surroundings, to feel the nature around you. And the other is that one focus on the inner self. That is focusing in his center of the brows or the mindscape which is imagined by the person. By focusing on outside your body, you get to know more about the nature around you. And by focusing inside your body you get to know your body better.

And thus, i started focusing on my surroundings. My eyes were closed. Ears were in attention. I tried to feel the nature around me. I tried to feel the same sensation when the imperious spell was cast on me. The same feeling which i felt under the magic. The feeling which i sensed during the teleportation. I tried. I focused. But i didn't feel anything. Well, i can't hope to succeed in a single try. So, i kept on trying till the time when i felt some light. And i was happy and surprised at the same time. I thought that i have succeeded. I kept on focusing on that light. I kept on focusing the warmth. And the light kept on increasing in my senses...until i realized that it's early morning sunrise which i have been feeling. So, i was upset a little but then i thought ' so what? at least i felt good. So let's feel it some more'. Yes, I thought that i felt magic, but, alas! It was just the warmth of sunrise. And so i spent some more time feeling the light which has pierced the forest. When it was enough bright to see till far, i decided it's time to start my exploration of this forest. Hopefully i will be out of this forest by the time it is night.

I walked towards the left of the starting points of the light, which is the east, i.e. towards the north. I marked the trees with knife in regular intervals. I kept looking in a circular region with me as the center before proceeding forwards. It's always better to be extra careful in strange unknown locations. After all prevention is better than cure. And so, I kept on going towards the north. North is good. North is better. North is best. North will get me outta here... hopefully.
